Original Press Release:
Give Out Your E-mail Address Without Fear Thanks to New Anti Spam Software Feature
ISPCON, Santa Clara, California, October 18, 2005 -- Roaring Penguin Software's CanIt-PRO anti spam software customers can now sign up for mailing lists or input e-mail addresses in online forms without fear that those addresses will be sold or used by third parties thanks to a new innovation called CanIt 'Locked Addresses.' Users can now create random-looking e-mail addresses that forward mail to their regular inbox, but only accept messages from one particular sender each - automatically rejecting mail from spammers or any unauthorized third party.
"Many people run into the situation where they want to give their e-mail address to someone, but don't trust that person or organization not to turn around and give or sell it to others," explains David Skoll, president of Roaring Penguin. "Using a Locked Address, you don't have to worry about giving out your e-mail because you know that it can only be used by the person or organization you give it to."
Locked addresses work by 'locking on' to the first person or organization to send e-mail to a user's particular locked address. Once that first sender has been identified, the locked address will reject e-mail messages from any other sender and log that information for the user. Users can create an unlimited number of locked addresses and use them when entering information in web forms or signing up to newsletters/mailing lists.
"This is the most effective - and least intrusive - way we've found to protect your 'real' e-mail address and limit the amount of spam you get," added Skoll. "It's basically a way of ensuring that even if the e-mail address I've given to a company somehow gets into the hands of spammers, I'll only get mail from the original company I gave it to. The spammers can try as hard as they'd like to send me mail, but it'll never get through to my inbox."
